Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Edward I, also known as Edward Longshanks, who ruled England from 1272 to 1307. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to establish a uniform coinage system across England, which led to the creation of this coin.
